  FCPX Subtitles

  Posted by Andreas Kiel on December 20, 2012 at 9:24 am

  Hi all,

  I decided to stop development for the free subtitle tools XTI and XTE for Final Cut Pro X. To much time needed.
  They are still available as free tools.

  But XTI now is fully integrated in TitleExchange – XTE’s integration will follow early next year. Integrating XTI into TEP now allows to convert/import nearly 40 subtitle formats into Final Cut Pro X.

  The TitleExchange installation includes 2 groups of basic Motion Templates for subtitles. One with boxed subtitles one without.
  Launching TitleExchange will install those templates automatically They named TextUp and can be found in FCPX under Spherico. They both come with 4 styles: regular, bold, oblique and bold-oblique. The font is Helvetica, size 48 in broadcast white. These values can be changed with Motion (or directly in the Motion XML) to match custom needs. But the names and path to the templates shouldn’t be changed at any time.
  Using this 2 x 4 templates allows to transport “mixed” settings for subtitles into FCPX from other subtitle formats.
  Beside these free templates any other available Motion Title template can be used as well – without style information.
  The application also allows to keep track of the amount of text entries which might be available in a Motion Title, so if you got two lines of subtitles in the source and only one line is available in the template the source text will be merged to fit the template settings.

  TitleExchange is free with a limited functionality.

  Happy subtitling
